Bug 209137 – app-shells/bash-3.2 is broken on IRIX with optimisation above -O1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2008-02-06 13:42:29 UTC]

Using the platform-native compilers on IRIX, bash-3.2 will build be be very broken(*) if built with -O2 or -O3.  Therefore, the ebuild should contain along the lines of:

case ${CHOST} in
    *-irix*)
        replace-flags -O? -O1
        ;;
esac

... within src_compile()

(*) This mainly seems to affect the maths functions: working correctly, executing "echo $(( 3 + 4 ))" should print "7".  With bash compiled at -O2, the same command returns "3: command not found" :(

I applied the filter-flags to all bash ebuilds, thanks.
